I have been working as an enterprise architect for over twenty-five years. I focus on Java, web technologies, APIs and new technologies. My company is NoSide. NoSide is an IT consultancy that specializes in architecture, design, creation, management, deployment and maintenance. We have worked as software architects, technical architects, solution architects, and enterprise architects in financial services IT for over fifty years. NoSide LLC focuses on Java, web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery mobile, web services), APIs and new technologies such as cloud services, distributed storage, graph databases, big data tools, application servers (WebSphere, WebLogic, TomEE) and database systems (MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, Cassandra/Titan). NoSide has been working on Elance as technical advisor for several start-ups. One is a start-up in San Francisco that we have worked with since May 2014 as their "part-time, remote CTO" -- after documenting the design for their investment management software, then documenting the enterprise software non-functional requirements that they need to meet to be taken seriously in the financial services world, and was their "technical project manager" for over 6 months. We have also helped them on their business continuity planning and information security programs that they need in place to connect to some large investment firms. Another is a more mature start-up in Indonesia, but they have several challenges with the organization of their IT team and development activities. We are helping them to put in place methods, tools and procedures. We are also working regularly with other smaller start-ups; all related to their IT activities and most of them with a focus on efficiently outsourcing to lower-cost resources.
